This is a very good book about options and it's cheap, too. Options are advanced, so I don't recommend you dive into them until you understand stocks first. But know this: buying options is like buying hope and it can be a real sucker's play. Be very careful with them, they are highly leveraged. Rule Breakers, Rule Makers -- A very good book about how Wall Street rewards market leaders, until they fall.
Technical Analysis from A to Z -- is like a reference book at technical indicators with excellent explanations. I've met Steve Achelis and he's written a great book.
The Options Course is excellent -- gives more in-depth material on options for the advanced trader. Don't do options if you're a newbie.
Beating the Street is the 2nd in the series by Peter Lynch. Great material but start with his other book first, One Up on Wall Street.
